Screen going black

I have a Samsung LTN406W LCD TV. When it is turned on the right side of the picture goes almost black for a time and then returns. Lately it has not been coming back to a good picture for some time and now there are black areas in the middle of the screen in addition to the right side. I am always up for learning something new. Is it possible for me to fix it myself?

Samsung only makes TVs that last 2 years, mine also has the same problem. Throw it away and buy a cheaper disposable TV, despite all the hype Samsung is just another cheap and nasty manufacturer who uses its customers as product testers. Why do you think they keep changing model numbers every week ?

Next time it does it instead of turning it on/off to correct it,try taping on the side just to see if it reacts if it does you will be looking at a loose conection in the horizontal drive circuit.Seek assistance from a technician to correct the problem.Right now it should no be expensive.
